Bernard Cornwell. I have never come across his books. I’ll fetch it as soon as possible and get lost in it.

Not participating in the challenge but I read five this month. But that makes up for the months I read nothing.

The Archer’s Tale. Aside from plot and action and warrior code/brutality it once again is a book that illustrates the severe hardship of surviving by common folk from war, hunger, disease, housing and ever present death. That aspect reminds of THE YEAR 1000 (everyday life England). By order of the President was shocking in that data collecting and spy intelligence capability of tech in this field and how lethally it can disrupt world if used militarily. There is a great deal of nonfiction in fiction when crafted by authors steeped in knowledge and research.

I read a lot, too, Carl. Most seasons of my life I didn’t have time to read like I do now. I am making up for lost time. Blessings to you, Carl…

I like traveling just sitting in my chair. And you can actually travel to the past with books.

Wonderful selection, Carl. I’m jealous. Lately, it takes me three to four weeks to finish a book. Ugh.

Some days I fall asleep when reading and takes longer than usual but at least with books there are no commercial interruptions. Except when going to the candy dish.

I read all of Jack Whyte’s Camulod Chronicles(post Roman Britain). I really fell in love with the characters. Everything written by Herman Hesse and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and much of James Fenimore Cooper, Mark Twain and Jack London. Read complete works of Martin Luther. He is so much more a comfortable read about complicated theology than Calvin who is a complicated read about complicated matters of theology. And of course read all of our beloved St. Paul in NT. Enjoyed Edna Ferber too.
